Evolutionary Blues... West Oakland's Music Legacy

Original Programming Evolutionary Blues is a  KTOP original program. The Blues is an earthy, soul-stirring mélange of roots music and personal narratives that became the defining soundtrack of Black America.

Seventh Street in West Oakland supported and bolstered Blacks who answered the call of the war effort in the late 1940’s. Entrepreneurship created a fully contained community that provided work, homes and all the necessities of life including a fully developed music scene.
